Description:

Creating Citizens is a compelling collection of essays that showcases how community and civic engagement (CCE) can transform liberal arts education and reinvigorate the mission of land-grant institutions. Drawing from real-world experiences at Auburn University, Brigitta R. Brunner and contributors illustrate how CCE fosters personal growth, critical thinking, and meaningful connections between students and their communities--preparing graduates not just for careers, but for citizenship in a democratic society.

Review Quotes:

"Creating Citizens has the potential to make a meaningful impact and serve as a model for other institutions."

--Valerie Paton, chairperson of APLU's Council on Outreach and Engagement Executive Committee
